Valentine’s Day

Dark and rich colored flowers in big blooms are always the best option to celebrate V-Day and express your love and affection. Red’s always the motif of this day and roses are the top picks, but as variety comes along everyone can pick whatever they want as long as the flowers convey the right message. Remember colors, the number of flowers, and the flowers themselves do count for their meaning. It’s only during this occasion that a single stem of red rose can express everything. But as we say, variety’s also great. Go for tulips, daisies, lilies, carnations, and orchids in a form of bouquet, in a vase, or with chocolates.

Sympathy and Funeral

White, blue, and violet colored flowers are standards for sympathy and mourning. Although colors of red, yellow, orange, and pink are also considered, it’s best to stick to have a single color to stand out during such occasion. Vibrant and colorful wreaths, posies, and spray are seldom used unless requested by the bereaved family and relatives. Roses, carnations, chrysanthemums, gladioli, gerberas, larkspurs, stargazers, and anthuriums are great choices for this time.

Weddings
